Everything Old Skool Is New Skool Again

Yep, The Cycle is still trapped in 1984, tight-rolling our acid-washed jeans, rocking out to Van Halen's aptly-named 1984, and wondering if that Lemond kid might someday pull off a few Tour wins, get shot in a hunting accident, get turned into a brand, and become the Salieri to that brash young upstart Wolfgang Armstrong Mozart.

A Huret deraileur? Does that mean that bike would get the Jan Heine seal of approval (assuming it planes properly)??? I'd actually be alright with that in my garage just for the "odd factor"

I almost bought one of these a year ago when it popped up on Craigslist. Would have been a hoot to ride at the Elkhart time trials. I get enough crap from people about my "vintage" Paramount already, I figured this would fit right in. :)
